Supernova

“Whoever they are, they're smart as God and a lot less nice,” says a spaceship's chief medical officer about the creators of a mysterious artifact that may belong to a mysterious young man she and the rest of the crew have rescued. This mildly moody SF thriller belabors standard dramatic conceits involving jealousy and sexual betrayal, and its eerily neutral allusions to and depictions of sexual violence are an ideological dead end. David Campbell Wilson wrote the screenplay; the directing is credited to Thomas Lee. With Angela Bassett, Peter Facinelli, James Spader, Lou Diamond Phillips, Robin Tunney, Robert Forster, and Wilson Cruz.
